Anyone tried doing a "cold turkey" switch from bottle to cup?

[rouge]

DD not very happy about taking milk from a cup but will take water from it fine (although never very much). Putting cow's milk in a bottle feels weird for some reason, so I was thinking that when she hits 12 months I might dispense with bottles altogether and see if eventually she'll come round to the idea of the cup if that's all she's offered. I'd up the calcium content of her diet in the meantime, obviously - and I think I'd still offer the bottle at bedtime, otherwise I might be asking for trouble - although that might weaken my plan of course!

Anyone tried this?

Was in the GP's this afternoon and came across a piece by a consultant paediatrician in Junior magazine. It said that once a child is weaned, s/he no longer needs milk, as long as s/he has a good diet. According to him, if your baby is over 6 months and getting plenty of dark green veg etc., there's nothing to worry about if s/he won't take any milk from the cup.

I think I'm going to wait till 12 months, then do a straight switch to cups. If DD won't settle at night I'll stick with the bedtime bottle for a while and see how I get on.
